Our Story

Make learning and teaching more effective with active participation and student collaboration

Welcome to tests4u.com

We are setting up an Online Examination Centre in Cape Town to serve the children of our country and beyond. Using local IT talent, we are building a modern and robust online test and examination platform that will advance teaching and learning as never before.

For every fee-paying student taking a test or examination with Tests4U, one student from a school with fewer resources and many disadvantages will be given the same test or examination free.

 

For teachers there will no longer be the hassle of setting tests, marking them manually and doing diagnostic analyses tediously. All of these tasks will be taken care of digitally and with the help of AI.

 

For parents, an hour-long test can be booked at about the normal retail price of two  litres of Cocoa Cola.

 

All About This Software

Tests4u is a South African developed web-based online test and examination software. The model used is that of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Access to the software is provided on a subscription basis for students who can afford to pay and free of charge for students from certain townships.

The software is located on external servers. In other words, it is cloud-based. This guarantees the use of latest technology for accessing the software, high speed and efficiency.

Automated Tests

Registered students will receive each test on schedule, online, and it will be fully automated. Students can take tests, as many as are available, at school or at home over a year. A variety of question formats will make each test interesting.

Registration

Students will apply at least a week before the via email to register and be assigned a Student Number. A code for each test will be electronically sent to the students approved for the test. The cost of each test will be approximately that of the prevailing retail price of two litres of Cocoa Cola around R20 in 2021. Each fee-paying student will allow one non paying student from selected townships or rural schools to be registered free of charge.
